Education, Politics and Ideology: Theoretical Debates and Practical Contributions

This book, "Education, Politics and Ideology: Theoretical Debates and Practical Contributions", is a work by the Latin American Pedagogies Research Group at the University of Playa Ancha, which is positioned from a critical perspective in the educational and pedagogical field. This currently implies, among other things, the relevance of discussing, polemizing and confronting those perspectives that have technified and instrumentalized pedagogy, reducing it to a merely practical, technical field, unrelated to epistemological, ethical, philosophical and/or political issues. In this direction, the essays that make up the book distance themselves substantially from those perspectives that conceive our field as a terrain that must advocate for neutrality, impartiality, and asepsis; and they propose clear and explicit positions with respect to social justice, democracy, equality, and dignity.
